TURN AROUND TIME
One and three…big deal. There’s plenty of time to turn things around.
January 13
Colts at the Ravens: As good as the Chiefs’ game plan was, the Colts managed to see through the brilliance of run-run-pass and total lack of defense. They ended up looking good. Herm Edwards has more then few options now since the Kansas City front office was on the phone to Bill Cowher at half-time. Baltimore didn’t go 13-3 without some intelligent game planning. Manning will be scrambling like a plate of eggs and the Ravens have an adequate passing game that will set up the run. Baltimore by 9.
The Colts are getting 4 ½, good enough for a bet on the Ravens.
Eagles at New Orleans: Two Cinderella teams. A lot of money was on the Eagles when they played the Giants and it was up to the referees to keep the game close in the fourth quarter. They came through like the twisted little criminals they are and Philly won but failed to cover. I’m giving the Saints six since they’ll be giving the points anyway.
The Saints are giving the five they should be getting. The Eagles are a great bet.
January 14
Seahawks at the Bears: The Seahawks showed they’re no better the Lions by beating the Cowboys using a play straight out of “North Dallas Forty”. Chicago may not have any offense but their defense will send the overrated Mike Holmgren back to Seattle where everyone will be reminding him that Shaun Alexander is a running back and maybe he should have used him more. Bears by 10.
The lines 9 ½. Tempts me recommend the Seahawks. But I suggest pass.
New England at San Diego: This is the real Super Bowl. Whoever wins this game takes home the trophy the first Sunday of February. Make your plans for the real party on Sunday night. It’s coaching versus real talent. This game is plus/minus three either way.
Great, the line is New England plus five. That makes the Patriots very bettable.
